Publisher Notes: The 120 Days of Sodom Volume 1 [Easyread Large Edition]

  • While imprisoned in the Bastille for the poisoning of a prostitute, the Marquis de Sade wrote THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM, considered one of the most vile and controversial literary examples of sexual deviancy. The plot involves four wealthy libertines who, using the stories of old whores as inspiration, torture, abuse, and eventually kill 24 captured women. After the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution, the manuscript was considered destroyed or lost until it was found hidden in Sade's cell. The novel was first published in 1935, and in subsequent years faced censorship and calls for the book to be burned. While generally considered an example of violent misogyny, some critics, including Simone de Beauvoir and Camille Paglia, have defended it as a work of dark satire and social critique.
